Keljet (NL)
Artist
Keljet is the Nu Disco / Indie Dance collaboration between Dutchmen Koen Mestrum and Teun Pranger. Since as early as 2009, the Nijmegen based Dutchmen have been flooding the blogosphere with their remixes and original productions. Harvesting support by many dj's and producers such as The Knocks, Goldroom, Zimmer and Don Diablo. Lately they've received airplay on different radio stations, got great reviews on lots of blogs, and played some of the freshest clubs in the Netherlands.
Keljet has a unique sound which is a blend of Nu Disco, Indie Dance, (Deep) House, and Pop. Their energetic sets are extremely danceable, and full of feel good vibes. During their performances Teun is the DJ and Koen plays live guitar, bringing a live element to the stage. Their sound is best described as 'creating some kind of tropical fusion between mainstream sounds and laid back, tropical disco'. (- Binary Blog) and 'transforming pop/indie songs into the most awesome disco bangers' (- Chubby Beavers). As a Keljet credo goes: "We want to make you smile and dance to our music.”
Besides playing their home country, Keljet played their first international gigs last year as well.
Their official collaborations involve AVAN LAVA, X Ambassadors and Falcon Punch. Plus, official remixes for The Knocks and Milwaukee. This comes alongside a neverending list of bootleg remixes on Franz Ferdinand, The Temper Trap, Hoodie Allen, Calvin Harris, Coldplay and many many more. In 2012 Keljet achieved new milestones with an official remix Don Diablo's 'Silent shadow' on Columbia Record, a guest appearance on Kiss FM and features on Ministry Of Sound Radio.
Keljet is known for their unique productions and remixes, which have gained a lot of attention world wide. Their EP 'Transatlantic' on which they collaborated with HOLYCHILD, AYER, Leland & Lyon Hart is released by Universal this year.
